A hotel for feeling well. A wide range of food. Every morning fresh fruit/mixed juices. You get almost always a place to sit outside, which was just more beautiful. The pools are great, the atmosphere was very pleasant evening, for example, a pianist in the lobby (which offers free internet) - highly recommended read hotel review

A dream area. Terriffic pool with 1a sea view. We were already in many hotels, but this area is really extremely nice and highly recommended. You feel very comfortable in the complete hotel area (everything beautifully designed). But. The place itself is a problem (nothing, beach far away, hardly any shopping possibilities, restaurants very far away). One must therefore almost completely in the area. Therefore little change. Nice/quiet guests, but rather quite old. The staff was the absolute nightmare! Rarely so unfriendly and a little helpful staff! A safe is available, but cost. For 4 stars rather unusual. Great tennis ... court and Midget Golf-area. Food tasted ok, but not very varied. Definitely a recommendable area for a few days, if the area and the staff was a little accurately.read hotel review

Very good and well mantained hotel even if our access card was demagnetized many time. Be careful some rooms are far from lobby and restaurant. Bad rate expressed due to lack of access to beach. Hotel is far from the city. read hotel review

The hotel captivates with its outdoor area. But if proximity to the are looking for sandy beach, is here wrongly at the place. In the winter months is in the evening in the hotel so-called 'dead'. Since it early dark, you can enjoy the outdoor area not use. Atmosphere in the bargastronomie rather cool. To the town is within walking distance, about 20 minutes, taxi costs 3,00 Euro. read hotel review

The food is a disaster. the breakfast although there is general choice, but if you looked more hinguckt, it is not good. The fruit was mostly out of tins. In 14 days there were 3 times salami, otherwise always only fresh pork sausage. 3 sorts of cheese slices. Never cream cheese, soft cheese and camembert. Very boring. It was always missing something. Either it was too little rolls or the cereal was from or juice. The coffee... Incredibly nasty. The teewasser not hot enough. Coffee pots, which have apparently only preferred guests at the tishc were brought, because we were in 2 weeks not even asked, whether we coffee want. For that there was vending machines. Just 2 pieces with long queues before it. If my coffee had, was my egg then mostly cold or vice versa. the dinner for vegetarians no choice. There are vegetables, noodles, potatoes, but usually not spiced and always the same. There are no vegetarian dishes. You can then noodles with tomato sauce food or potatoes mit mojo or vegetables. But it is very boring. My question in a court to the chef Christian, whether meat in it is, with no answer. I did it on the plates, then discovered, that the statement was wrong. It was chicken in it. Signs with information is missing or not correctly excellent. There is not always at the buffet, which also on the menu. The dessert consists of 3 sorts of cake, ice cream and polyurethane foam (or how this artificial mousse would like to call it...) at least is as fresh fruit. Bananas mostly very brown. The meat according to the statement by my friend (and the chef) dry, overcooked and tough. Fish burger or the, what it should be, tasted neither fish, still smelled it (i didn't eat fish and have tried and nothing of fish noticed) and i'm really picky. My friend went to the chef and told him, that serve can. The tried then be food and took it to the range. It tasted like breaded strength with water. Disgusting.
In the restaurant long queues, uncoordinated, completely overtaxed service. All make everything and nothing correctly. The buffet is not properly nachversortgt. Constantly is something empty. Petit fours were 2 sorts of finished schokoladenminischälchen once with cream filled and once with schokosahne. In 2 weeks the dinner was perhaps 2 times good, otherwise a disaster.
Plates and dish partly dirty. I have a waitress the full-lubricated dirty butter-packages bowl shown.

It lies somewhat apart on the outskirts. One runs about 10-15 minutes to the location, which wasn't bad though. The bus stop is just as far away. From there, but you get along pretty well. Direct entertainment in the proximity gives it not. But you have in the place.
From the airport it was about 1 hour away

We were over new year's eves in this hotel and rather disappointed. We had booked a room with partial ocean view, the view on the sea consisted of high-grown trees and only with a lot of imagination, you could the one or other blue spot suspect.
You must for the safe use, for wifi outside the lobby pay extra (the costs 23 Euro per week, or 7 Euro per day and angriest is, that still face time and skype are locked) and you have to use for the towels to pay.
The food from the buffet was not our thing ... and we have often outward self catering. Nevertheless, i have to say, that the handling of the food was okay, the quality of goods was not good.
The außenanalagen are very nice and well maintained, but there are not enough beach chairs at the pool for the many guests during the high season, which the occupied the lounge chairs leads.
The staff were mostly friendly and helpful, but there are exceptions.
Overall so there is a lot, which at this hotel is disturbing, we will not go over there any more.read hotel review

The hotel makes at first sight a very good impression. On the 2. view are the pool area and the garden very nice and well maintained. Ultimately the hotel lies however in a island. The atmosphere in the restaurant is not very nice, the food in the rule of only average quality. In the outdoor area are many heater not working. In december it is without heater a little cool. The food you could then in the company of cats take. Admittedly, the cats were very well maintained but we eat then nevertheless rather without the cats. The staff could ... mostly not smile, guests often not the precedence left. Sea view we had booked. The sea one could through a gap between the houses to see. That would be so, we know different.read hotel review

This hotel we booked before 4 years the first time and now the 2 time, it will not be the last!

The Rio Calma is basically a very nice and clean hotel with large garden and a very beautiful pool area. We had an apartment (royal suite) and loved it. Nothing to complain about there! With the liegereservierung and the food in general (and especially for christmas and silvestermenüs but we were not satisfied.
The hotel is located about 15 minutes away from the large beach at the Costa Calma and since one should think, that sufficient comfortable beach chairs available, since the place on the lawns is available. But that is not the case, what then to the reserving of ... the beach chairs Although at each sunbed pointing out, that reserve is forbidden, do nothing, to this bad habit to stop.
Compared with the H10 tindaya cuts Rio Calma also with the food worse. The tindaya is all-inclusive and we had in the Rio Calma half-board in the atmosphere, the food was more varied and with a lot of more love presented and decorated. There was a special wine list and the staff could with the wine selection advice. In the Rio Calma there was a wrapped cookies available (and sometimes sticky) card, on the 4 red, white and rose wine were. The waiters could as good as no statements on wines make.
Especially the festagsmenüs were in tindaya around classes better. Furthermore, the atmosphere at the two holidays in two shifts, while Rio Calma more tables in the dining room was. The result was, that you very cramped sat and because all guests around 19 hours to the food came, were the lines at the individual stations much bigger. Both holiday menus were the extortionate extra charge is not worth.
Conclusion:
If i was far away from the beach and no all-inclusive offer, then i must at least ensure, that the guests enough beach chairs and the food of the other 4 stars hotels flights.
Both was not the case.
We would recommend this hotel (at least in the high season) not more.read hotel review

Now to the large drawback of the hotel.
The size of the room was in order, the condition of the furnishings acceptable (although the hotel lies in the luxury class and the standard then nevertheless somewhat higher should). There was a table, two chairs, a mini bar and a closet (none of the three doors did close properly, unfortunately).
The balcony was in order, there was a small table and 2 chairs. The brighten but worked only from and to.
The bathroom looked a little in turns from, a little mold in the joints was available and overall not more too new. So far so good and also still okay.
The room cleaning was only after 2 nights instead, if the word cleaning is appropriate. The toothbrush glasses were never cleaned, simply again beautifully laid out, the margins on the marble were also still from the previous guests visible. The trash can was emptied, but not more in the stuff floating provided, one has probably just forgotten. The towels were carelessly on the rod hung, the bed was still loveless short and pillows fluffed dropped. All in all very carelessly and sketchily, the get a hotel deeper class better.
Also, a abzugsschachtdeckel in the ceiling with open balcony door to, so you all over the room which cables exposed could see. The curtains could have been a cleaning deserves.
From a luxury hotel i expect clearly more, it was much too little.

The hotel is located on a hill on the outskirts of Costa Calma. The beach is not very good, it is a few minutes walk away and is compared to the other beaches on fuerte rather modest. Directly before the hotel there is a very rocky beach, the so not to use.
To foot one is to Costa Calma middle good and gladly about 40 minutes, a rental car is highly recommended.

Highly recommended, great hotel area, a bit away from the hustle and bustle of the Costa Calma region.
Small disadvantage, that it ' only an artificial lagoon with sea water are, and, one to the beach 500 meters walk.
The pools are large and nice. read hotel review

We know almost all of the canary islands and the variety of hotels and resorts, but this area is probably one of the most beautiful, not only on Fuerteventura. Though Sylvester 702 people to dinner loaded were, everything was without faults or problems. The buffet was not only for new year's eve party very large, varied and prepared, also the perfect service was pleasant. But all the other days. Especially pleasant we noticed, that with relatively little oil was cooked, so many meals in your own juice were prepared.
The breakfast buffet was always an alluring sight. The pool was ... always enough.
The pool area the same. Special enjoyable was about 50 metres long filtration system (26 °c).
We could every day our lieglingslieegen use, of course occupied i get this shortly after sunrise, but there were always enough beach chairs available.

Breakfast and dinner in form of a buffet, everything was always freshly prepared, varied and always enough available.

Beautiful location just outside the town directly above the sea. The view from the beach chairs on the pool and palm trees breathtaking.

A really great, holiday.
Hotel: we were the 2. the Rio Calma and it is still one of the best hotels in Fuerteventura. Although the number of beds is large, the facility is architecturally so good, that you didn't have the feeling with very many guests together holiday. The hotel is simply class opened! Really well thought out.
A real highlight was the food. Really very good. In the selection and quality of the food was something for everyone.
Conclusion hotel: we will definitely again the Rio Calma book, you can recommend unreservedly!
Tour operator Alltours however not! After we ... first 14 days had (3 months in advance) should originally our return journey on the 01 january 14 show. Two weeks before the start of the journey we receive the documents and the 01,01. 14 was deleted, instead (without charge) the 2.1 used. Nice. But we could on the 1 february not only round-trip. And so find the mayhem. After we this Alltours told had us a new vouchers sent with bottles start, again recall. Finally new vouchers to 31,12 and 400 Euro cheaper, but with flight Cologne not Düsseldorf!
On request, why we now 400 Euro save for a day less, answer: nobody wants the 31,12 travel. We should rejoice, everything would be otherwise with the old.
What was the true reason: it was unfortunately the balcony out, which us naturally not noticed. Only at the check in we were aware of this! Thank you very much, because without balcony, there was a room partially to the nothing arranged. The hotel tried hard and still another room, but it was sadly fully booked. According to the hotel, were the balcony room already weeks before booked and the organizers have been informed of this. Here we had the suspicion, that Alltours had forgotten us a balcony room to reserve. Celverer trick and we have not ausgepasst!
Conclusion Alltours: never again!read hotel review

The size and view the room from the travel agency depend. We had room 6225 and went to the side. With a view of a small part of the garden, klimagenerator and (if ma the palms oust would) small view of the sea. Oh and balcony/terrace had we also not. So i can only recommend a balcony to be. There one has then perhaps real sea view. Size of the room was not much bigger than a prison cell. Just big enough for a small double bed, two chairs, dresser with ancient tv. In the hall there was still a closet which was big, but not lock left. Bathroom was ok. But we have to say that the cleaning of the rooms was very good indeed. New towels every day and always fresh mopped.
However, it is for a 4 star hotel too little and totally disappointing.

Cleanliness and hygiene in the restaurant...
Na as we probably had one stage the was not so nice. In principle one must say that here everything was clean and hygienic completed. However... You should definitely with the choice of the dishes to be careful. I have stayed multiple times plates, glasses, cups and dessert bowls the apparently not by the spülhände went. This must, of course, for a 4 star hotel not happen.
Tablecloths were not always changed and not used table-ware and cutlery was on the table left so that the next guest everything gathering could.
As i said, it was only offered in a small stage of the holiday (3 or 4 days). Apparently the error detected.

The hotel is located on a mountain on the edge of Costa Calma. In the hotel itself there was of course also a small shop where you can get drinks, souvenirs, magazines and small naschzeugs purchase. Of course with hotelzuschlag. The nearest supermarket is only a few minutes walk away but you have to the steep climb then back to the hotel to purchase. Public binding with bus there is not, taxi only. As it is recommended maybe a rental car. I would advice or tour operator highly recommend the rental car.

The request for a different room was refused with the explanation, 'everything'. Since the hotel was by no means only half full, you have to go in this point the reception indignation and lack of reproach.
Even more irritating that all, because in the run-up to the request for a in the upper floors undeveoped rooms.

The hotel was located fantastically on a hill outside of the town Costa Calma, directly on the sea.
Swimming was hardly possible. To the beginning of the next 'usable' swimming beaches from hotelanlagengrenze about 3 minutes to foot.
The isolated location, it is in accordance with a further way to all other possibilities such as supermarket, bar, bus station, etc. In other words a good 10 minutes.
Transfer to the airport 1 hour.

Obviously it belongs to the commercial practice of the hotel, rooms at lower than the booked category to give. We had booked a sea view and were given a room on the ground floor, the street was. The sea with the best will do not see. On our immediate complaint was - as others have already described several times - opened, there was a ' tauschliste', which we put may. Only after long discussions and a reference, that i as a lawyer from a claim on the booked service and a non-binding 'wechselwunsch' can distinguish, we were given the next ... morning a room in the 5. floor with partial sea view. We have several other travelers was spoken, which in the past. In a 4 star hotel is something unacceptable.
The finally assigned room was in order, however the house is extremely clairaudient. Talks in room speakers from the room next door are understandable.
In the restaurant was the quality of the food is usually good, however the plates and glasses in beklagenswertem condition. Apparently there are no klarspülprogramm, so on all dishes spülrückstände, partly also leftovers to find. The level of service is up to a all-inclusive resorts.
